Her work is abstract color compositions focusing more on creating an illusion of depth based on color interactions. Although the flat curvilinear forms she draws and paints come off as geometric initially, they actually base the beginnings in the movements of plant life and ocean life as they waft effortlessly in the currents and the waves.<br /><br />Where as the my work is a more literal depiction of oceanic and other aquatic critter, I still look to how those organism exist in their water environment. The conceptual idea for why My obsession with the dark values of Mezzotint can't set my work farther apart form Heather's colorful paintings then is possible. But i've grown to appreciate color (no i love color) and even my adventures into color fall on a very different plane.<br /><br />Some how, the origins that birthed these ideas have come merged and created this amalgamation of two different artists.<br /><br /><br /><br />How We Do:<br /><br />the basis of this collaboration is to be completely reactive to what you see on the paper. You manipulate the image due to your instincts and gut feelings while keeping in line with your own style/imagery.<br /><br />above all else, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OBSESS OVER IT!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />History of the piece:<br /><br />This started as an ink wash drawing i had started back last semester. after agreeing to collaborate, I passed the piece on to Heather who worked a little before giving it back. I work on it and passed it back...and so on and so forth.<br /><br />The best part about the collaboration is the history of marks and images layered on there has helped build and created a sophisitcated world/environment that reflects the aquatic qualities Heather and I are visually attracted to.<br /><br />I cannot wait to see just how much this invented environment evolves and changes before we both decided the piece is gone.<br /><br />The possibility of continuous growth within the image is exciting and quite breathtaking, due to the fact that it could continue to change and develop for another day or even years to come.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Fighting the Forces of Fine Art Frustrationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938396816886439299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158569609287072780.post-73431693157279761892010-03-03T20:21:00.001-08:002010-03-03T20:27:02.312-08:00Hear ye, hear ye!<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_28Nv5pKFGy0/S481na1BgjI/AAAAAAAAAYU/_PKpkW39-zc/s1600-h/small+show+poster.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 169px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_28Nv5pKFGy0/S481na1BgjI/AAAAAAAAAYU/_PKpkW39-zc/s320/small+show+poster.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444629425847108146" /><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "></span></span></span></div><span><div style="text-align: left;">By: Adrienne</div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span>If anyone is going to be in the Philly area during these dates should definitely go see our show at the Infantree Gallery.

They had to inventory each color they saw and paint the amount of each color...(i'll post an example tomorrow) and then create a flat color composition using those colors, then finally folding a piece of paper either into origami or an abstract 3-D object.</div><div><br /></div><div>Using the colors they identified and mixed from the their inventory they had to paint the paper structure.</div><div><br /></div><div>So i was surprised that none of them made the most basic paper boat fold. Even more surprised, when i asked about it and they had no clue what i was talking about. I even made one and they still had no idea what i was talking about. *I felt very distant from their generation... and now i feel really old*</div><div><br /></div><div>any who, i make it a point to do the assignments i give my students, with them. So I completed an inventory, a flat color composition, and the 3D paper structure painting. It was a lot of fun and so i started thinking about the paper boat.</div><div><br /></div><div> I remembered the photograph that adrienne had given me for helping frame her show. and I was hit in the face with the perfect metaphor and image for my work! The paper boat!</div><div><br /></div><div>A boat is a mode of transportation that allows people, objects, animals and other stuff to traverse over open water. But the paper boat may be representation of a real boat but it can not complete the voyage of it's sturdier cousins.</div><div><br /></div><div>I remembered when i was little i really did think that if i made a bunch of paper boats i could float across the ocean.. and then BAM! NEW work!!!!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_28Nv5pKFGy0/SwJZ6CRbH5I/AAAAAAAAAXc/9VRW3h3Jfqs/s1600/boat01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_28Nv5pKFGy0/SwJZ6CRbH5I/AAAAAAAAAXc/9VRW3h3Jfqs/s320/boat01.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404981356375252882" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i>paper boat portrait 01</i>, 2009</div><div style="text-align: center;">gouache</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_28Nv5pKFGy0/SwJZ5zXpTWI/AAAAAAAAAXU/J8L4VATHgBU/s1600/IMG_1180.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_28Nv5pKFGy0/SwJZ5zXpTWI/AAAAAAAAAXU/J8L4VATHgBU/s320/IMG_1180.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404981352374816098" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Tyler is a tall guy and I asked him to sit down next to my painting for size comparison.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_28Nv5pKFGy0/SwJZ5aJLfYI/AAAAAAAAAXM/PsNJHnbPQVs/s1600/IMG_1176.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_28Nv5pKFGy0/SwJZ5aJLfYI/AAAAAAAAAXM/PsNJHnbPQVs/s320/IMG_1176.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404981345603255682" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">LOOK!
